On the final day of a counternarcotics mission, Special Forces operative Jake Tyler is searching for a downed pilot. It's the first in a series of life-altering events that ultimately puts him in the sights of one of the most powerful and deadly drug cartels in South America.It seems Jake's friend and military comrade, Haskell Delaney, has been playing both sides in their operations, and the duplicity has just caught up with him.With a bounty now on his own head, Jake has no choice but to go after the cartel kingpins before they can take him out. With a rogue and gutsy execution, and the help of two civilians, he pulls off an operation he believes will put an end to his plight.But the stakes are raised when Jake's new love, Callie Kane, is abducted and used to lure him for a final showdown with Adonis Valentín, the unimaginably evil drug lord who has, like Jake, eluded death.Now one of them is going to die, either at the hand of his adversary or from the siege of artillery converging from ground and air...as a massive interdiction closes in. The only way out is back through the jungle.Terror in the world takes many forms, much of it gratuitously bloody, but now in the oft forgotten and interminable drug war, it's become personal.From the tropical beaches and rainforests of Costa Rica, to the terrifying darkness of Colombia, IN THE DARK OF THE SUN smolders with the grit of a seasoned warrior on whose life it is based. While racing through a relentless stream of action and suspense, the story delves into the fine line between darkness and light...in friendship, in life, and in love.With the rapid-fire intensity found in Proof of Life and Tears of the Sun, the familiar elements of Traffic and Blackhawk Down, IN THE DARK OF THE SUN stands unique with its combination of eloquent beauty and raw reality.

In the second book of the JAKE TYLER thriller series, barely two weeks have passed since Special Forces veteran Jake Tyler's return from a harrowing mission in Colombia, South America, one with tragic and life-altering consequences. Recovering at his Costa Rican home, he is struggling to provide comfort and care to Callie Kane, who is deeply traumatized from the experience. He is tormented by the reality that his love for her became an exploitable vulnerability for his adversaries and determined to embrace whatever time is needed for healing...and to build a new life together. So when Jake gets a call from Eddie Falcone and Curran Niles, urgently summoning him to the Congo, he is impossibly conflicted. Falcone and Niles, who had joined him in Colombia as clients and emerged as comrades and friends, have been documenting wealthy young philanthropists Cyrus and Amelia Keogh, and are clearly in over their heads. Gratitude for the risks they took in Colombia on his behalf ultimately prompt Jake to go. What seems on the surface to be a straight-forward, if not daunting quest, quickly escalates into far more, stirring deep-seated emotional connections from Jake's past African conflicts and to encountering an old foe who has set up shop on the region's front lines. At home, Callie is battling nightmares of a demon she cannot exorcize, but is he in her tortured mind or real again? As Jake's efforts take him across the continent, he finds himself in pursuit of predators of the worst kind and a man whose lust for power and notoriety knows no bounds.

Exploring Big Historical Data: The Historian's Macroscope (second Edition)

Every day, more and more kinds of historical data become available, opening exciting new avenues of inquiry but also new challenges. This updated and expanded book describes and demonstrates the ways these data can be explored to construct cultural heritage knowledge, for research and in teaching and learning. It helps humanities scholars to grasp Big Data in order to do their work, whether that means understanding the underlying algorithms at work in search engines or designing and using their own tools to process large amounts of information. Demonstrating what digital tools have to offer and also what 'digital' does to how we understand the past, the authors introduce the many different tools and developing approaches in Big Data for historical and humanistic scholarship, show how to use them, what to be wary of, and discuss the kinds of questions and new perspectives this new macroscopic perspective opens up. Originally authored 'live' online with ongoing feedback from the wider digital history community, Exploring Big Historical Data breaks new ground and sets the direction for the conversation into the future. Exploring Big Historical Data should be the go-to resource for undergraduate and graduate students confronted by a vast corpus of data, and researchers encountering these methods for the first time. It will also offer a helping hand to the interested individual seeking to make sense of genealogical data or digitized newspapers, and even the local historical society who are trying to see the value in digitizing their holdings.
